Activity Lead

Cherry Blossom. An Allegra Care Home.

At Allegra Care, we follow a household model of care — creating warm, family‑style environments where residents feel truly at home.

Our compassionate teams build meaningful relationships, supporting independence, dignity and wellbeing every day.

Join us and make a genuine difference in a caring, close‑knit community.

In this exciting role, you will lead our activities team in our home. This is a hands‑on role and you will work closely with our care team, residents, relatives/friends and the wider community to provide the very best quality activities to help maintain both physical and mental health.

You’ll delight in providing our residents with opportunities to develop new hobbies and maintain current interests.

The role is a full‑time job with an agreed 36‑hour schedule over seven days, including alternate weekends. You’ll need to be flexible, possibly when a special event is planned, as you might work fewer hours during the week and a bit extra in the evening or over the weekend, for example.

About you.

You are a natural people person who is (very) good at organising.

You’ll have at least a year of similar experience, preferably in a care home environment.

You’ll be a great communicator, a great planner with an eye for detail. You’ll design our annual activities plans, manage them to a budget, enthuse the home and community to be involved and share stories about life in the home.

Zoe, one of our team, said: “My thoughts are with any activities role you need to be creative, passionate & dedicated to the position. The activities role is such a rewarding position as we get to enrich residents’ lives every day by bringing fun, meaningful structured activities into their day‑to‑day living within the home. You need to be able to promote happiness and opportunities for residents to express themselves.”

“Your face shall be the face that the residents love to see every morning, with an empathetic, happy demeanour to start their day & in return you see the happiness and smiles that you have brought to their lives through this role.”

“You need to be super organised, a multitasker, accurate with all recording & adaptable.”

You’re passionate, enthusiastic, and you’ll love helping our residents find the joy in life, every day! It’s genuinely one of the best jobs in care, so if it sounds good… apply today!
